22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Not the force of old and has failed to complete in his last two starts but this is a drop back in grade and he went close at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November; looks interesting on that form and he made all when winning this race last year. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Not the force of old and his second at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November came in a two-horse race; followed that with a poor run in a veterans' chase at Doncaster; others appeal more. |

11st 12lb |
Won three times last year (3m/2m7f, good to soft/good) and finished close up on final two outings in the autumn; in the mix if returning from a break in similarly good form. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
12yo who has struggled at biggish prices in his two runs over 2m7f at Chepstow (tailed off/pulled up) this winter; dropped another 4lb but his last win was in April 2024 and he needs a major revival; stablemate of Camulus. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Yet to add to his two soft-ground chase wins in early 2024 and is a 12yo now, but faced very tough task from out of the weights here on last month's seasonal debut and contests this easier race from a workable mark. |
14/1 |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Clearly best efforts on soft going and, following two unseats, he was beaten 15l when fourth of five on good ground at Doncaster on latest outing; competitive on best form; stable also runs Fuji Flight. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
On a career-low mark but very evident that he's not the force of old and the return of cheekpieces did nothing last time; perhaps blinkers will help, as they did aboard the stable's Cheltenham winner Martator. |
20/1 |

1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Lightly raced in recent years and patently not the force of old but ran well for a long way in Exeter marathon (3m6f, soft) in December and competes off another career-low mark here; cheekpieces (worn regularly in France in 2019) are given another go; not ruled out. |
8/1 |

26th May 2025 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won novice handicap chases at Hereford (3m1f, soft) and Newbury (2m7f, soft) in 2022 but hasn't won since, although a couple of fair efforts, including over 3m4f last term; on a good mark and could go well. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
His last four outings have seen him runner-up twice and pulled up twice; that makes him 2-14 over hurdles, with the two wins early in 2023 before he went handicapping; no problems with trip or ground but he does not appear the most reliable proposition on this switch to chasing. |

16th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Only four ran at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November but he ran well behind an in-form rival; has each-way claims with Oliver Boyden again taking 10lb off his back. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
11th attempt under rules when off the mark in a seven-runner handicap at Southwell (3m, good) four weeks ago with a second-time visor; 3lb higher today but has a big shout if that performance is repeated. |
